After Some Early Gambles, WWZD Should Call Chip Kelly for Trade Advice

Draft Summary

The rest of the league must be shaking their heads at WWZD, who successfully took a high draft position and flushed it straight down the toilet. They're projected to finish ninth in 17 The MoistureMissile Awakens League with a record of 5-9-0. They went after guys who can tote the rock with their early picks, using three of their first five picks to scoop up RBs Le'Veon Bell (first round), Dalvin Cook (third round), and Ty Montgomery (fourth round). They ultimately collected the bottom set of WRs in the league, as they have Doug Baldwin, Rishard Matthews, Tyreek Hill, and Jeremy Maclin on their team.

Let this mediocre draft inspire you to always do better. To win your league. To get in the Toyota Hall of Fame and inspire a nation. Nominate yourself today.

Schedule

WWZD should use Week 9 to consider life's deeper mysteries, like why do we park in a driveway but drive on a parkway? It will be better to think about that than to check fantasy football. They have seven players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Taking a look at the season from start to finish, they have the most daunting schedule. Although they have the most taxing overall schedule, WWZD actually has the second-easiest first four games of the season.

Draft Notes

• RB or Bust

• RB is the only above-average position group for WWZD.

• Bold Strategy, Cotton

• Let's see if it pays off. With identical bye weeks, both Stephen Gostkowski and Josh Lambo will both just be kickin' it on the sidelines for WWZD in Week 9.

• Minnesota Vikings Fan?

• WWZD reached twice to draft a Minnesota Vikings player.

• Fantasy Fútbol

• This is the American version, folks. WWZD elected to go with two kickers, rather than adding depth at other positions.

• It's a Marathon, Not a Sprint

• WWZD didn't exactly wrap up the draft on a high note, ending up with the fewest projected points in the league over the second half of the draft.

• Defense Wins Championships?

• WWZD chose to go with two DEFs instead of loading up at other spots.

Player Analysis

Le'Veon Bell, RB Round 1, Pick 2

• Feed Thy Beast Le'Veon Bell will get the ball early and often, and he's projected to finish second in the league with 327 touches.

Doug Baldwin, WR Round 2, Pick 19

• 185 Excuses to Cheer for Doug Baldwin: Baldwin ranks eighth in the 17 The MoistureMissile Awakens League among wideouts with 185 projected fantasy points.

Dalvin Cook, RB Round 3, Pick 22

• Apparently ADP is Overrated: With their third-round pick, WWZD pulled the trigger. They took Dalvin Cook at pick number 22 despite an ADP of just 49.1 across all Yahoo! leagues.

Ty Montgomery, RB Round 4, Pick 39

• A Versatile Combination: Ty Montgomery can hurt opponents with his hands as well as his feet. He ranks fifth among RBs with 531 projected receiving yards.

Tyreek Hill, WR Round 5, Pick 42

• That Just Happened:Why can't I find Tyreek Hill on my draft cheat sheet? Oh wait, here he is under "mid-to-late-round value."
